Wednesday 12th December


A clear crisp morning welcomed me as I made my way out to do a TTV for the BTO Bird Atlas. I totted up 37 species in total, including the 3 Barnacle Geese (that were viewable from the public footpath between East Malling and Ditton), but with some notable exceptions including Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Kingfisher and Little Egret, all of which I've come to expect on my wanderings around East Malling!

Some great sightings and photos from the past 3 posts Adam. Keep up the good work mate.

Cheers Simon

Not getting as much time to get as much as I want to lately, so yesterday and today were a bit of a bonus! Glad you got out today as well, really was one of those mornings to be out there - some nice photo's yourself! Hear you attempted to see the Bittern with one of my colleagues (Clare) yesterday, but without success! She used to be a good luck charm....but it all went down hill with a Hoopoe (or lack of one) on Langdon Cliffs a few months back!!!!

What do you reckon the origin is of your Barnacle's Adam? Fantastic record if wild....

Hi Steve

Not sure of the origin of the Barnacles, although I suspect they're not wild. They've been around for a number of weeks now and seem relatively tame!
